Mingtown Etour Hostel

– Really nice bar area
– Relatively clean bathrooms, toilets, dorms
– Staff super friendly. You can have a good joke with them.
– Brilliant location
– Amazing views of the city from the rooftop area

Disadvantages

– Showers are fairly disgusting. Nowhere to really put your stuff except behind a curtain
– Lots of permanent residents, so I literally spoke to no one in my dorms during my stay. Very strange experience (apparently that is quite common in Shanghai due to apartment prices being very high)
– Bar prices expensive
– No WiFi in rooms and WiFi was unreliable and slow in bar

how much love for this hostel

This was an ok place however there were a lot of older people there (30+) and so it was really hard to meet people. The showers were fairly disgusting. If I went back to Shanghai I may look else where.
